Laughlin Ranch Golf Course

SO AMAZINGLY GORGEOUS!
I am new to the golf world but this place made me feel spoiled. My boyfriend is an avid golfer and really enjoyed the course too.
Despite very bad winds we enjoyed the course and had fun.
We ended up with a lovely older couple from Oregon whom actually own a house on the course. They were great and knew the course well. Apparently they find a ton of lost golf balls and donate them yearly for some sort of charity, which I think is pretty cool. They seemed slightly used to the high winds, however I was not and only made it through 9 holes.
Of course the winds died down later that afternoon and the course was empty.perfection.
We savored lunch and drinks at the grill, my boyfriend had spa services too which he said went well.
We will be back and aim for a less windier time of day.

Golfed at Laughlin Ranch today and was disappointed for several reasons.
First was that they have recently (I guess) changed the order of the front and back nines. Everything (scorecards, GPS, and signs) except inlays in the cart paths have been changed. The inlays have the old hole numbers on them and combined with many path marking signs being vandalized led to confusion several times during play.
Second, we teed off at 12:15 and saw the beverage cart only once and that was on the second hole. Come to find out the snack bar and the beverage cart both shut down at 2:00. Mind you it was 100 degrees by that time. So as we made the turn we had to backtrack when we found the snack bar closed and traipse up into the formal bar in the clubhouse to buy some bottles of water. As the bartender sold us the bottles of water she apologized for them being warm because other golfers had already purchased all the cold ones!!! Wtf It was 2:00 pm on a Saturday!!!
Third, when we were on the 16^th hole we decided to call it a day and head in. Well before we got to the 17^th tee box one of our carts started slow down significantly due to a low battery. Long story short, we barely made it back to the clubhouse after crawling along for about 15 minutes at a snail’s pace. My guess is that they charge them overnight and after being used for a round in the morning they are then used again for a second round without charging. While this may normally work, the dramatic elevation changes tax the carts more than normal.
The only reason for two stars is the course itself. It’s very beautiful, challenging and reasonably well maintained.

It’s a very challenging course; great condition. The greens are fairly slow, but still makes for a challenging course.
Also, the weekend golf tournaments or specials are really great for groups, and are priced nicely. It’s a well kept course, that has great views of the river and city.

Restaurant leaves a little to be desired… staff consists of younger gals that really don’t care if they serve you or not… they forget that their tips and sales depend on keeping glasses full… food is mediocre… they need something special.

Golfed 2 days with 8, Wednesday and Saturday. They ran out of carts, started 45 min-​1hr late and we ran into darkness for 3 holes. Both days 5 hr + rounds. Greens very slow and un predictable as they were not mowed to the correct height. (Management saving $$$$ or just plain stupidity?)
Pro shop had no control over pace of play, on Saturday 9 am inserted a 2 some in front of our 4, they were already running late. Now really late. Course maintenance spotty for a high end price, bunkers very poor.
Restaurant on Wednesday early lunch was quiet with 3 tables, we had 8 people and it took 20 min for order and 45 min for food. Mgr came out and made it seem like it was our fault. Oh btw they burned 3 meatloaf sandwiches. 2 other tables were served before us and were gone before we got our food. They ordered after us.
Customer Service is really easy with a little effort. Pro shop and restaurant failed. The cart guys and club wipers were fine. For the money the quality of the golf course conditions failed.

Great course, great people, just a bit overpriced or I would have given it five stars. However, there are a few deals out there if you do your homework.
Hats off to the staff! These are nice people who love their customers and take great care of the course and amenities. My wife and I flew in from Seattle, played the course on two different days, and flew back home with fond memories of our time there. Weather was perfect, although we have seen it get a bit windy in the afternoon so beware.
Worth the time…

Greens and fairways in good shape, but the water hazards look terrible. This was the first round I’ve played here when the wind was actually calm (usually very windy).

I played there last Saturday 3÷8÷14 and was very surprised. For a par three it was very well kept. However mother natcher was a bitch 25 – 30 mpg gust. Very friendly staff and very clean. Of course the price was fair too. Thankyou cheers.

I have golfed here on four occasions and now that I live in the area will certainly multiply this number over and over. I really enjoy this course as it is very unique. You have a little bit of everything including hills, sand, desert scape, and even some coyotes and burros. The sand traps are more like rock traps as it is impossible to keep sand in them with the way the wind blows in this area. My suggestion would be to avoid them! The course is well maintained and the staff at the pro shop is always very professional and courteous. I have always found the cart guys/​starter to be very friendly and professional also. There are four different tee boxes for every level of play and each tee box makes the course play completely different. As of today the local rate is $ 49 for golf and cart per person, a fair price for this great course. Oh, and the restaurant is good too.

The course layout was nice, but as others have stated, the Laughlin Ranch Golf Staff continues to be rude and have severe attitudes. We showed up to drop our clubs off and one of the guys handling the golf carts stood there and saw us without helping us — he never came over to us as we were the customers. Guess what, no tip! They changed the back nine to the front nine and vice versa without informing us which resulted in a confusing start. There was noticeable donkey dung on the middle of several fairways — be careful where your ball lands and where you step!

We had a very poor experience overall. Three tee times were booked for a group of 12 starting at 2pm. on a Sunday afternoon. The first group did not get off until after 2:35 pm. due to being behind and a lack of carts. The beverage cart made one early appearance and was not seen again (later we found out she left early as well). The bar in the clubhouse closed at 3pm so we could not buy any type of beverages or food. We reached the 14^th hole and figured we might get two more holes in with ½ hour of light left. Low and behold, they turned on the automatic sprinklers and ran everyone off the course. I went to speak with the pro about the situation and found the clubhouse was closed as well. Overall, a verly poorly run operation for such a very beautiful course. I would suggest playing Mohave or Los Lagos instead as they seemed to care much more about the customers experience. Just my two cents worth.

I love this course and it’s layout! I almost gave it 3 stars though because the traps and greens need some attention. Awesome views, range finders in the carts, beautiful club house and spa. Always a treat to play!

Played three course in this area recently and this was my favorite by far. Very challenging and beautiful. Play early in the morning before it gets to hot then head to the Lake after:):)…

Played here a couple of times on our annual «opening weekend of NFL football trip.» Which means both times it’s been in the morning after a full day of partying on the boat, and going out to dinner + gambling. «Can’t believe we’re getting up to do this shit» is often heard (and a few in our group usually don’t!). It’s still hot that time of year, there’s not many people on the course, which is for the best.
People working @ LRGC have always been very nice — cart guy, starter/​pro shop, and drink cart girls — friendly with good service. Carts are well maintained, and have a small cooler filled with ice on board.
The course is in good shape, I’d say very good shape for a desert course, I’ve driven by some in the area that look pretty bad! As previous reviewer Al A. described — it’s a desert links style course, with several elevation changes. They have a good variety of tee box placements — and as Al said, the course is interesting as a whole.
Did not have a problem throwing my soft sided cooler of beers on the cart — I cover it with a towel — have never had trouble with that at any course actually. Yes, we started right back where we had left off the night before — the cart girl made us some good micheladas on one of the holes.
Maybe I’m a fan because I’ve actually played well here.
I have no idea why or how — the first couple of holes I’m usually feeling the earth move like I’m still on the boat! We play best ball on this trip due to — well, everything. Al A. said he didn’t lose too many balls — we always do — mostly because of our «eff it, I’m not going to look for that in there, just gimme a new one» attitude. I suggest you bring extras.
One thing — my brother has a vacation house in Fort Mojave, when we were paying they asked him if he was a local resident — to give us the resident’s discount. However, the price they gave us was actually higher than the internet price we had seen on their website! — so we took that price. One time being a local wouldn’t have payed off!

Just finished playing the course with a friend this weekend, and I have nothing but good things to say about it. A very challenging layout, but not so much so that I lost too many balls. This is a typical desert links style course, with the added benefit of have some elevation gains and declines (It’s on a hill) which make the course more interesting as a whole. No two holes border each other too closely, so errant balls will be lost, although the fairways aren’t so narrow as to be completely unforgiving. The 18^th hole par 5 was by far my favorite, with a breathtaking approach to the green over water. The course was in pretty good shape for a desert course in the middle of summer. (We played in 118 degree weather in August!) Not too much brown stuff on the fairways to be found. I’d love to play this course again the next time I’m in Laughlin!
